Rehan Khan is currently keeping his fingers crossed as he waits for the release of AWARAPAN, the publicity of which is incidentally revolving around Emraan Hashmi for all the right reasons.

'It's fine actually', says Rehan, 'I am sure Emraan bhai's presence in the film is only going to boost its chances. The promos have been well appreciated and I am sure that once people walk in to watch the flick, they are bound to notice my presence in the film too.'

Playing an important role in the film, Rehan is also gearing up for one of his upcoming assignments. A few months back there was news around him being signed by Nihkhil Panchammiya. The film's shooting is now expected to begin in September.

But why the delay? 'We had to look at the right location for the shoot coupled with the kind of weather which is adequate for shooting. If things go well, we should begin in September,' he says.

This yet untitled film is expected to star Minissha Lamba opposite Rehan.
